Reduced fat cottage cheese is a dairy product made by curdling milk and removing excess liquid, resulting in soft curds with a mild, tangy flavor. Originating in Eastern Europe, cottage cheese is now widely consumed around the world and is particularly popular in diets emphasizing high-protein, low-fat foods. The reduced fat variety contains less fat compared to regular cottage cheese, making it a heart-healthy option. It is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, which support muscle growth, bone health, and energy production. However, sodium content can be high, depending on the brand, so individuals monitoring their sodium intake should check labels carefully. It is versatile and pairs well with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, making it a nutritious addition to both sweet and savory dishes while supporting balanced, healthy eating habits.
